Board Of Directors Election

At EnergyUnited, you’re so much more than a customer, you’re a valued member who has a say in our direction and leadership. Since 1998, EnergyUnited has been owned and governed by members like you.

Your vote in the EnergyUnited Board of Directors Election is your voice in your cooperative, a chance to weigh in on leaders who will represent you and your interests.

2024 DISTRICT MAP

EnergyUnited is a member-owned, democratically-governed electric cooperative. Each year, the cooperative conducts an election to determine which cooperative members will serve on the EnergyUnited Board of Directors. EnergyUnited members are represented by board members in three districts. Periodically, these districts change as members move to new locations and as our membership grows.

Recently, the cooperative updated its district map to reflect changes to the membership. The updated map below has been approved by the EnergyUnited Board of Directors, effective March 21, 2024.
